Following the death of Chris Gemignani last spring, the family have decided to sell the Generosa Winery. The property is now on sale for $1,600,000 with an option to also purchase the business and inventory.

Gemignani made what he referred to as California Super-Tuscans, blending Bordeaux varietals with traditional Italian grapes such as Sangiovese. The winery also produced a Pinot Noir.

David was born in the industrial North West of England where he developed an interest in traditional cask beers. He became a life member of CAMRA, the Campaign for Real Ale, and published several local news sheets and beer guides. In 1995 he moved to Santa Clara, California and gradually discovered the wines of the surrounding areas. He still enjoys a good beer though.
